All tours are hosted by a trained beerologist.No matter if you're a craft beer newbie or a certified beer nerd, you'll learn a lot about beer and brewing.Follow our state-of-the-art brewing process with your own eyes, ears and nose, from the unloading of ingredients, through the brewing and fermentation stages, all the way to packaging.Before you head home, you'll experience a Big Rock tasting session where you get to sample the latest and greatest on tap.Participants must be 18 years of age or older with government photo ID (required to participate in sampling of beer), closed toed & flat shoes (no sandals and no high heels).Due to the nature of our production facilities, our brewery tours are not suitable for those with mobility restrictions.
